Tian Chengping protested, "Didn't she also spread rumors? Her idiot-eyed son is ruining my reputation. If I get arrested, they have to be arrested too!"
Old Lady Xia: "What rumors are you spreading? Didn't you make your father angry to death or cause your mother to be pelted with vegetable leaves?"
Chen Xiangbei jumped up and down. "I'm not afraid of reporting it to the police. We're in the right. Let's report it first and let them judge. If I tell a lie, I'll be treated like that beast."
Old Lady Xia slapped him and said, "You were not a good person to begin with. Who do you want to harm if you become like him? Will you harm me by throwing vegetable leaves at me or by making me die of anger?"
Chen Xiangbei immediately stood obediently beside Old Lady Xia, "How could I become such a person? Even the worst pony in our compound can't compare to him."
Tian Chengping was furious. This despicable mother and son deserved to be beaten to death. What did his family's affairs have to do with them? They were really meddling in other people's affairs. "You two can't even handle your own family affairs, and you're meddling in other people's affairs. Deputy Captain Wang, this old lady is the scum of our factory. If everyone follows her example, how can our society be stable? How can we progress if it's not stable?"
Deputy Captain Wang: ...Why did he have to encounter such a thing? He is not a judge, so why should such a difficult problem be given to him?
Old Lady Xia: "With someone like you, you're still thinking about making progress? I'm an old lady, so what the hell are you thinking about making progress? You pissed your father off to death, so why aren't you thinking about making progress? You're not even an animal, and you're still talking about making progress? Your mother should have drowned you the moment she gave birth to you."
Chen Xiangbei was excited. With his mother by his side, he had nothing to fear. "Tian Chengping, how can someone like you get into the factory without being investigated? What advantages do you have over others? How come you passed while others didn't? Who recruited you to be so blind?"
The three of them started cursing at each other again. Deputy Captain Wang would stop them when they were about to fight, and then they would continue cursing.
The expressions are so harsh and the language is so unpleasant that one wants to listen again.
Qiao Yi: ...I really want to live as harshly as them.
In the end, no one reported the incident to the police, and the two sides didn't even touch each other's faces during the fight. Old Mrs. Xia felt very sorry.
In the village where Xiang Hong had gone to work before, if the police were not on the scene, it would be rare for ordinary people to be arrested for just saying a few words, unless the words had a great impact.
Finally, when Tian Chengping panicked and angrily refused Old Lady Xia's offer to take everyone to his home to verify the situation, the conversation ended. Deputy Captain Wang wiped his sweat, thinking, "We've made it through. Today is a peaceful day."
Qiao Yi was really angry. Why didn’t she bring a notebook? She saw some people writing down their curse words, and she wanted to write them down too.
Just now when Tian Chengping scolded her, she couldn't find any bad words to say and almost made herself cry out of anger. She was such a coward.
Seeing Tian Chengping fleeing in panic, Qiao Yi took a step forward and wanted to chase him and scold him again, but her mind went blank again. She was so disappointing, and Qiao Yi cursed herself in her heart.
Old Lady Xia pulled Chen Xiangbei, who was still mumbling about Tian Chengping, aside and asked, "What did you come to see me for?"
Chen Xiangbei smiled and said, "Mom, I miss you a little bit."
Old Lady Xia looked at him scrutinizingly. "Miss me? Want to see how badly I'm doing?"
Chen Xiangbei: "I swear to God, Mom, I'm not that kind of person."
He hesitated and said, "I just miss you."
Old Lady Xia turned and left, but was caught up by Chen Xiangbei again. "Mom, Mom, I'll treat you to a meal. I still have some money."
He held up a few crumpled bills and blocked Old Lady Xia's way again.
Qiao Yi found that something was not right between the mother and son. Comrade Xia seemed unwilling to talk to her son. After thinking about it, she remembered the rumor that Comrade Xia didn't even want the child and wanted a divorce, so she walked over.
"Comrade Xia, I...it's all my fault that you suffered this unprovoked disaster. If possible, I would like to treat you to a meal as an apology." Qiao Yi's voice was not much louder than a mosquito, and she felt very embarrassed.
A few days ago on the rooftop, she said so firmly that Tian Chengping was not such a person, but she turned around and revealed that not only was he a bad person, but he also dragged the mother and son into this.
It was obvious that this matter had nothing to do with them, but they not only scolded Tian Chengping away, but also did not blame her at all. Regardless of whether they scolded her on her behalf, it was still because of her. She wanted to apologize to Old Lady Xia, and the best way to make amends was to have a meal. She had saved up a lot of money and tickets, and fortunately she was not cheated by Tian Chengping, that bitch.
Old Mrs. Xia was unwilling. It looked like this woman had bad intentions. The look in her eyes was so bright that she didn't know what bad ideas she was planning. In addition, her attitude towards her before was not very good, so why did she suddenly become like this?
It's a trick! Old Mrs. Xia immediately refused, waved her hand and wanted to leave.
Chen Xiangbei is different. He hasn't eaten with his mother for many days. Besides, the money Chen Xianghong gave him is not much, so he is very greedy. The money he originally wanted to use to treat his mother to dinner was his last bit, and he has been saving it.
So, he grabbed Old Lady Xia's arm and said, "Mom, I think this comrade is quite sincere. Don't reject him so quickly. Won't this make her sad?"
Old Lady Xia: "Do you know her?"
Chen Xiangbei shook his head.
Old Lady Xia scolded: "How can you know what someone is thinking if you don't even know them?"
Qiao Yi also grabbed Old Lady Xia who was scolding the child and said, "Comrade Xia, I really am sincere."
Old Lady Xia refused to listen to their persuasion and ran away. "I appreciate your kindness, but I won't eat."
Chen Xiangbei was heartbroken, "Mom——"
Qiao Yi: "Comrade Xia——"
The two glanced at each other. Chen Xiangbei's expectant gaze was so intense that Qiao Yi said awkwardly, "How about I treat you to a meal?"
Chen Xiangbei agreed immediately. He felt lucky to have met a good person today. He put the money into his chest pocket.
The two were silent the whole way. Since they didn't know each other, they didn't know what to say. In addition, Qiao Yi was a grown-up girl and Chen Xiangbei was a young boy, so they should have avoided suspicion.
After walking for a while, Qiao Yi realized that something was wrong. She wanted to say that she didn't want to eat, but she couldn't say it. She had already promised him, so she could only walk in front of and behind him, keeping a distance from him. She planned to order the dishes later and then not eat, and come back first.
Chen Xiangbei, this clueless guy, didn't even notice the instability between a man and a woman. Instead, he was annoyed by Qiao Yi's slow pace and turned back to urge her, "Comrade, are you regretting treating me to dinner? Why are you walking so slowly?"
Qiao Yi: "Ah, no, I just..." She wanted to say that she would give him some money and tickets and let him go by himself, but she didn't know how to say this in a friendly way. She felt that saying it directly would make it seem like she despised the other person. With this stuck, she was interrupted by Chen Xiangbei.
"That's good. Then please walk faster. It's just a short distance. You won't be unable to walk, right?"
Chen Xiangbei kept talking and even resorted to provoking the girl at the end. He was secretly pleased with himself. Fortunately, he was smart enough to interrupt her, otherwise the girl might really regret it.
